 I've been pretty busy the last couple of days so I've missed a few days.  Here's a brief Catch-up:

Day 14 - My Stash

...Is large!  I like all kinds of quilts and I make all kinds of quilt so I have all kinds of fabrics.  Reproductions, Asian, Batiks, modern, solids brights, darks etc. Right now my stash is a big mess.  It would take awhile to tidy it up so I'm not going to show any pictures, sorry.  I always say if I made a quilt everyday for the rest of my life I probably would not run out of fabric!  But it's like collecting stamps if you see it and you like it you gotta have it for your 'collection' LOL

Day 15- My earliest sewing memory

My earliest sewing memory was probably around age 5 or 6 and I was sewing Doll clothes with my sister (2 years older).  Our mom had given us a small bag of scraps and we were making 'skirts' by  cutting rectangles large enough to wrap around the dolls, sew a side seam and fasten with a button.   I finished what I was sewing and proudly showed it to my sister.  She said it was sloppy and it wouldn't do.  I think this was the beginning of my resistance to Back Stitching! 

Day 16 - Why do I sew?

I love sewing and I love fabric and I love the creativity of making things and giving them  to all the people I love!  

Well,  not a very long post and no visuals so I will end with some random pix just for fun!

My son collected this little souvenir towel when he was in Japan and he asked me to make a wall hanging with it.  I finished it a week or so ago so I could get it mailed off in time for xmas.

Different fighting / holds and positions of Sumo wrestlers


I found some Asian style fabric with tea pots  etc. Perfect for the backing!
This is a perfect example of a fabric I just bought 'cause I liked it and it ended up being just right for this project!
I hope all your Holiday projects are going well!
take care, cw
